• W2129123310 abstract "Reviewed by: Exclusions: Practicing Prejudice in French Law and Medicine, 1920–1945 by Julie Fette Donna Evleth Julie Fette. Exclusions: Practicing Prejudice in French Law and Medicine, 1920–1945. Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 2012. xi + 314 pp. $49.95 (978-0-8014-5021-1). Exclusions: Practicing Prejudice in French Law and Medicine, 1920–1945 is an ambitious work because it deals with not one but two professions, both very important and influential in France: law and medicine. It also deals with a troubled time period, the interwar years and World War II, which, in France, saw German occupation of first part and then all of the country. It was also marked by attempts at exclusion of certain categories of people, notably foreigners, Jews, and women, from these professions. The author’s principal thesis is that these exclusion attempts that, under Vichy, reached the summit of their success were a grassroots movement within the professions themselves, not imposed from above. She notes a continuity of these exclusion attempts during and even after war. She states, “Although the anti-Semitic turn during the Vichy regime was unprecedented in that it consisted of lawyers’ and doctors’ participation in a racist, repressive state policy, it can also be understood as a logical continuation of prewar tendencies” (pp. 205–6). In her conclusion the author also discusses the “apology phenomenon,” the taking of responsibility by organized bodies (government, the Catholic Church, the professions) for the Vichy past, which came in the 1990s. She connects the apology phenomenon to the existence of several professional identity strands that were always present, including one of tolerance with roots in republicanism, This more tolerant strand reemerged with the apology phenomenon, and represented a professional turn at the end of the twentieth century, which, in her opinion, requires analyses bringing together professionalization, identity formation, and exclusion. The book is organized more or less chronologically, starting with the origins of professional exclusion in the nineteenth century. The author describes the legal and medical fields in the nineteenth century and compares the two professions. A difference between them was the doctors’ lack of “a corporatist structure to protect professional turf” (p. 15), which led to a phenomenon in the medical profession called “medical plethora,” a feeling—though not necessarily a reality—that there were too many doctors. The “plethora” argument would continue throughout the period. A similarity between the two professions was an abundance of doctors and lawyers who were also legislators and could thus defend their professional interests through Parliament. In her discussion of the nineteenth century, the author also talks about another excluded group, women. Although much of the material here, especially in medicine, has been covered by other historians such as Thomas Bonner, listed in the bibliography at the end of the book, it lays the groundwork for further study of discrimination against women in the professions between the wars, and constitutes a departure from the usual limitation of victims to Jews and foreigners. In her chapters on the interwar period, the author presents interesting material on continuing sexist discrimination in French law and medicine, and adds a second group discriminated against, the old. Her material on sexism and ageism in the liberal professions in this period introduces information not generally [End Page 760] found in other studies. “The scapegoating of women and the elderly constituted a much broader exclusionary movement than one based merely on xenophobia,” the author states (p. 88). Of necessity, these other discriminations are drowned out by the large-scale persecutions of the Vichy period, primarily of the Jews, which the author discusses meticulously and at length. There is a whole chapter on the Ordre des Médecins, the corporatist body founded by the Vichy government in October 1940 that implemented the antiforeigner and anti-Semitic exclusion laws passed and in the final accounting was responsible for French doctors excluding their colleagues. The author has done extensive research. Her primary sources include material from the Archives du Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine, the Archives Nationales, the Archives de Paris, the Archives du Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, numerous periodicals of the era, and medical, law, and student publications.
